other’: new find was called "i¥euie". She was an old dilapidab. .d_ specimen of over seventy. She “,3 one tooth left but a ruddy face me an apple. she was very fat and loose looking and her clothes seem- ,d w hang from her body. Either her clothes were too large. or her body too ruuv, but they slipped all me ume. She was all smiles and told Mother she had ‘never travelled on atrainandwassoh1wDb'toil0’!»0 Glasgow and live in a his WWII. 3110 of children and loved W0,-K so much that she would rather work than sleep or eat. Mother ask- ed her when she would care to come, but Teeni.e said she was mud to travel immediately. she had no clothes and Mother question- ed h-er. Poor Teenlc confessed that an ans had was on her back; she carried a little round tin box in her hand. It must have been all her em-iy possessions. She had not 1!. relative in the world and jlli-ll -vim»t- - ed a good home. Mother had to buy her a. couple of aprons and house- dresses and underwear on their way home. Teenie begged for a white starched cap; she wanted to play the par of a Waitress too. but Mother knew that her round face would look comical with a white stardfed cap perched on a head that, boasted of a couple of hairs. Poor Teenle was anxious to make an jmpresslcin; she was afraid we might not improve or her.

Teenle presented a real mother- ly appearance in our home although she was 9. confirmed spinst-er and had beat rigidly brougiht up to hate all men. At first eating was her religion. One had only to go into the kitchen at all hours of the day and often at night to see Teenie siltlmr over a. cup '0 tea and bread and jam: As soon as the novelty of eating were off. she confin-ed herself to thirty cups of strong tea. 3 day. Mother bought ‘her a good sized mug and around ten o'clock at night. 'Ileenl-e would be seen pmhed in bed, mug in hand and the Holy Bible in the other. The monotonous drone of her voice resoirnded mmugh the house. She loved the phrase, “verily I say unto Ye" and kept reoeatin-g it and repeating. she could not read well. and we had In l‘i"l,': .ll"3l' DZ‘Cl’1r3vI.lllO3 many Wdfdd which she soon forgot the following day.

Tfcnlr‘ never took me for a walk. in the first place she walked very slowiv and told Mother she was afraid of catching cold anti nn3i-err- ed to stav home and drink her Cup '0 Tea. The only time sh: ever got frc-":1 air was when site had to linvrg the clothes out the win:'o to

dry. It tack ten cups of tea at Sr- ivnrds to like away the “chill" as 1 she callsd it. I She had a little tin box which , contained all s‘v.: had in this wide ‘ world, She nlsvrr tired cpznirig it and exominln: the crmtsnts vary _ tendcrly, There were a few old coins a l:ck of her motl:-ar‘s hair. a small l worn Bible and a pcsm about Chri:t.
